Power up on the Plates

 

The big exercise trend for 2009 looks set to go to the Power Plate Machine, a vibrating platform upon which conventional disciplines such as yoga or boxing are practised.

 

The vibrations are transferred to the muscles causing them to contract in a reflex action enhancing the toning and strengthening benefits of the exercise.

 

For the time pressed parent, Power Plate classes take a maximum of just half an hour including warm up and cool down.

 

Power Plate classes and machines are available from participating gyms nationwide

Make it a Virtual reality

 

VirtualGym TV, set up in 2008, is Europe’s only live broadcasting and on-demand online gym.

 

It is designed to provide access to exercise and fitness classes over the internet with a flexible and personally tailored plan.

 

The project was conceived by Richard Davis, a keen recreational sportsman who tapped into the power of the internet as a cost effective way of people keeping fit.  

 

This is a much better idea then it actually sounds and would be a fantastic way of a busy parent getting their exercise video fix as and when they can fit it in.

 

There is no join up fee, no minimum contract, no hidden fees or exit fees.

You can download the fitness videos you want to follow and burn them to DVD to watch anywhere and as many times as you like.
